CAUTIONS
1. Before applying primary power to the AN/VSC-8, start the M577A1 engine or auxiliary
power unit (TM 9-2300-224-10/3/2). Failure to do the above can cause serious damage to
the radio equipment.
2. When teletypewriter transmission is not taking place, the auxiliary RCV/SEND switch,
the MD-522(*)/GRC SEND-RCV switch, and the remote control RCV-SEND switch must
be set to RCV to prevent transmitter from being continuously keyed.

OPERATOR’S MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
4-1. GENERAL .
a. Maintenance Forms and Records. The forms and records you fill
out have several uses, including: (1) a permanent record of the
services, repairs, and modifications made on your equipment; (2)
reports to the next level of maintenance and to your commander; and
(3) a checklist for you when you want to know the status of the
equipment after its last use, and whether faults, if any, have been
fixed. For information on forms and records, see DA PAM 738-750 (if
USMC, see TM-4700-15/1d).
b. Routine Checks. Routine checks, such as cleaning, dusting,
washing, stowing items not in use, covering unused receptacles, -and
checking for damage, are not listed as PMCS checks. They are things
you should do any time you see they must be done. Ensure that all
discrepancies are noted and corrected.
c. PMCS. Operator's PMCS are the required periodic inspections
and actions necessary to keep your equipment in good operating
condition.
d. System Readiness Criteria. System Readiness Criteria are those
standard, specific requirements your system must meet for it to be
mission-capable.
4-2. PMCS table (table 4-l). The PMCS table lists all the scheduled
maintenance tasks required for your system.
a. Explanation of Columns.
(1) Item No. This column contains a number for each procedure to
be performed. When reporting malfunctions or failures on DA Form
2404, Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet, place this
number in the “TM Item No.” column.
(2) Interval. These columns tell you when to do a procedure. Each
column that applies will contain an asterisk (*) . Some procedures
will have asterisks in more than one column.
(3) Item to be inspected/procedure. This column contains the
name of the item to be inspected and tells how to perform the
required checks and services on it. Carefully follow these
instructions and perform them in the order listed.
Change 12 4-1

operate your equipment. Pay attention to CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
(2) Do your during (D) preventive maintenance while the equipment
and/or its component systems are in operation.
(3) Do your after (A) preventive maintenance right after
operating the equipment. Pay attention to the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
(4) DO your weekly (W) preventive maintenance once a week.
(5) Do your monthly (M) preventive maintenance once a
month.
(6) If something doesn’t work, troubleshoot it with the
instructions in this manual and notify your supervisor.
(7) Always do your preventive maintenance in the same order.
(8) If anything goes wrong and you can’t fix it, write it on your
DA Form 2404, or applicable form. If you find something seriously
wrong, report it to the next level of maintenance IMMEDIATELY.

4-3 System Readiness Criteria table (tables 4-2 and 4-2.1). The
Svstem Readiness Criteria table is your "checklist" for determining
the mission readiness of your system.
a. Explanation of Columns.
(1) Item No. This column contains a number for each
readiness-reportable item. When reporting, on DA Form 2404,
Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet, malfunctions or
failures that cannot be repaired “on-the-spot,” place this number in
the “TM Item No.” column.
(2) Subsystems and Components. This column lists all system
equipments which are required for readiness reporting.
(3) Equip Model ID #. This column contains the equipment model
identification number (type-classification) of each equipment.
(4) Qty. This column tells you the quantity of equipment/items
furnished as part of, or with, your system.
(5) Remarks. This column contains other information/special
instructions and will alert you to any exceptions to the
requirements, designed to give you maximum mission flexibility.
b. Instructions. Perform the following steps to determine system
readiness:
(1) Before starting your mission, ensure that listed
equipments/items are on hand and operational. If necessary, perform
operational checks in applicable TM’s to determine the condition of
your equipment.
(2) Take note of REMARKS column. This column contains exceptions
and special instructions to help you tailor your requirements to your
mission.
(3) If any required equipment/item is not on hand and
operational, your entire system is deadlined (unless otherwise noted
in the REMARKS column).
(4) Correct any discrepancies, then re-check all
equipments/items on list. When all required equipment/items are on
hand and operational, your system is mission-ready.
(5) After completing your mission, and before
moving to a new location, ensure that all listed equipments/items are
on hand.

B-1. General
This appendix provides a summary of the maintenance operations for AN/VSC-3 and AN/VSC-3A. It authorizes
levels of maintenance for specific maintenance functions on repairable items and components and the tools and
equipment required to perform each function. This appendix may be used as an aid in planning maintenance
operations.
a. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or electrical
characteristics with established standards through examination.
b. Test. To verify serviceability and to detect incipient failure by measuring the mechanical or electrical
characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards.
c. Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition, i.e., to clean
(decontaminate), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or compressed air
supplies.
d. Adjust. To maintain, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper or exact position, or by setting the
operating characteristics to the specified parameters.
e. Aline. To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.
g. Install The act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position an item, part, module (component or assembly)
in a manner to allow the proper functioning of the equipment or system.
h. Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable like type part, subassembly, or module (component or
assembly) for an unserviceable counterpart.
i. Repair. The application of maintenance services (inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, replace) or
other maintenance actions (welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, remachining, or resurfacing) to
restore serviceability to an item by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly,
module (component or assembly), end item, or system.

column 2. When items are listed without maintenance functions, it is solely for purpose of having the group
numbers in the MAC and RPSTL coincide.
d. Column 4, Maintenance Level. Column 4 specifies, by the listing of a “work time” figure in the appropriate
subcolumn(s), the lowest level of maintenance authorized to perform the function listed in column 3. This figure
represents the active time required to perform that maintenance function at the indicated level of maintenance. If
the number or complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary at different maintenance levels,
appropriate “work time” figures will be shown for each level. The number of task-hours specified by the “work
time” figure represents the average time required to restore an item (assembly, subassembly, component,
module, end item or system) to a serviceable condition under typical field operating conditions. This time includes
preparation time, troubleshooting time, and quality assurance/quality control time in addition to the time required to
perform the specific tasks identified for the maintenance functions authorized in the maintenance allocation chart.
